Balance

I have been playing over the past few months and I've also been a player since season 2. All of this time there has been changes, improvements, and nerfs. Most of these have been good and the ones that weren't so much have gotten fixed. This is what I'm hoping will happen to what I believe I have been seeing.

What I've seen over that past few months to a year with champion reworks is troubling because some of the new kits are crazy powerful and I feel like it has really upset the balance that is so key to the game. I asked around during matches to see if others saw something similar and one thing was agreed on : There are now champs and more champs coming that create a situation where you only have a very few limited options to pick from in order to simply survive your lane. With a game of over what...100 champions, having that narrowed down to 1 or 2 selections being the only viable options is at its least heartbreaking.

I also had a lot of people tell me that this is why you ban that champion for one reason or another...which yes this is a solution but that solution has a hole in it. No one can ban enough champs to keep out the ones that are so over powered that you don't want to play against them.

This of course isn't just about champions but our item selection and even the masteries. When you see that 3/4 of all players have Thunderlords decree it should start making you think : Why is this mastery so overpowered that everyone is taking it whether it fits their champion or not? Some other things I would like to note out is hybrids and bloody Guinsoo's Rageblade.

Hybrids seem to be becoming something a lot bigger then it used to be which is troubling cause it is really hard to create a defense with our current item set that can actually defend well against it. As far as Guinsoo's, I'm just shocked at the sheer amount of people that buy this now. From aatrox to zed. By what I've saw if you are a melee champ you might as well get this item cause it's power is that immense.

My main point in all of this is that I feel like the balance of the game has tipped which is a problem in a game where balance is important. Just like any other PvP game. I'm just a worried fan of this game that has seen some things that are disturbing to a game I truly enjoy.
